Description
Parametric Polaroid-Style Photo Prop & Fridge Magnet
Bring a touch of vintage nostalgia to your modern photography or your kitchen! This 3D-printable Polaroid-style frame comes in two distinct versions to suit your creative and decorative needs.
As seen in the title pic, printing these on a textured build plate gives them a beautiful, high-quality matte finish that looks like authentic photo paper and eliminates harsh reflections.
📁 Included Versions
Version 1: The Hand-Held Photo Prop: Designed specifically for forced perspective and creative travel photography. Hold it up against a stunning landscape or a wedding venue to perfectly frame your subject in real-time through your camera lens. It scales easily if you want a larger prop for group photos.
Version 2: The Fridge Magnet: Perfect for displaying your favorite square-format prints or notes on your refrigerator. This version includes precise recesses on the back so you can easily glue in small magnets, keeping your fridge looking neat and retro.
🛠 Print Settings & Recommendations
Build Plate: Highly recommend using a Textured PEI sheet (as shown in the title pic). Facing the front of the frame down on a textured bed gives it a slightly grainy texture that looks fantastic.
Material: PLA works perfectly for indoor magnets, but PETG or ASA is recommended for the photo prop if you plan to use it heavily outdoors on hot, sunny days.
Infill: 15% – 20% (Grid or Gyroid).
Perimeters: 2–3 walls, better 4 if using as photo prop.
Supports: None needed! Both versions print completely flat on the bed.
